In this very special episode of the DreamPod, we're celebrating 20 years of The Dreamcast Junkyard, which was established all the way back in 2005! Lewis reunites some of the people who helped spark and shape the site's journey — founder Tom Charnock, two of the earliest writers Aaron (aka Animated AF!) and Simon (aka Father K), and long-time contributor Mike Phelan — for a nostalgic saunter down memory lane.

Join us as we dive into the origins of The Dreamcast Junkyard, from its humble beginnings as Tom's personal game-collecting blog, to what it has become today: an unstoppable digital force for everything Dreamcast, driven by an undying passion to keep the love for Sega’s iconic console alive.
